Description
Deadpan, poetic, and slyly profound, 'New Long Leg' is the stunning debut album from Dry Cleaning, released on 4AD and produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding). Expanding on the wiry post-punk foundations of their early EPs, the band crafts ten intricate tracks that wrap Florence Shaw’s monotone spoken-word vocals around restless, angular instrumentation. Songs like "Scratchcard Lanyard" and "Strong Feelings" pulse with anxious energy and observational wit, unpacking themes of disconnection, desire, memory, and kitchen-sink absurdity with a wry, dead-eyed charm.
Recorded in just two weeks at Rockfield Studios in rural Wales, 'New Long Leg' is a sharp, complex work full of contradictions—hazy yet detailed, intimate yet detached. Shaw’s voice, often dry and emotionally ambiguous, becomes the anchor to the band’s wiry grooves and shifting dynamics. This is post-punk for modern detachment: sardonic, literate, and uncannily tuned into everyday surrealism. A standout release of 2021, 'New Long Leg' signaled the arrival of a wholly original voice in contemporary music.
